CHICAGO – Vladimir Gutierrez made the most of his first opportunity to pitch in the Major Leagues, but the Cincinnati Reds offense couldn’t say the same for their opportunities Friday.
Teammates and coaches told Gutierrez to enjoy the moment in his big-league debut at Wrigley Field. It's a special day for all players. A childhood dream achieved. All the years of hard work finally paid off.
No matter how Gutierrez pitched, it would've been a day that he would never forget. But he performed well enough in a 1-0 loss to the Chicago Cubs that the people can't wait to see more from him.
